Great location for college visits/move-in, parents weekend, Merion Golf, Phila!

This was our second stay here. It meets our needs for location and number of bedrooms, plus we enjoy the outside area, ample parking, and historic aspects of the house.

We used the home for overflow holiday family and enjoyed the cozy gathering spots in this historic home as a group. The large dining room accommodated all 14 of us, though only 9 slept there. The location is very convenient to stores, walking trails and transportation. If you are looking for sterile uncluttered environment this is not the right location for you, but if you want to feel right at home and part of a neighborhood this will be for you. The hosts are super friendly and very prompt with their communications.

Mary and Tim have a very nice historic house that is updated with all modern conveniences. This is their home with a lot of personal decorations - it is not a bare bones rental. The kitchen is very well equipped, the family room has large comfortable couches and a huge TV, the bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms very good. There is a nice yard and patio, but one drawback is that commuter train rumbles by frequently just beyond the backyard - noticeable but not too bad indoors and while sleeping. They met us upon checkin, which I understand they may want to meet the people who are coming into their home. But oddly, they stopped by unannounced during our stay "to pick something up". We actually had friends who stayed at this same home another time and they told us the owners also made an unannounced visit during their stay. Even with these drawbacks, I give the home a thumbs up for staying in the area.

This VRBO home was ideal to inaugurate our new sibling reunion. Our proprietress & her husband could not have been more accommodating. Their home was sized right as we need enough bedrooms & baths for our group of three married couples and two additional adults. And plenty of room to entertain both inside and out. Everyone felt right at home. Also ideal is the location. Lodgers can easily access Center City Philadelphia via the SEPTA transit line. Or take a day-trip drive into Penn-Dutch Country. We did both and everyone totally enjoyed themselves. All-in-all, the Mainline Farmhouse checks off all the boxes. Thanks again to Mary & Tim for all your efforts & accommodations. May family couldn't be happier and our stay could not have been more satisfying! Cheers! Phil N. Long Island NY
